The Arria? II device family is designed specifically for ease-of-use. The cost-optimized, 40-nm device family architecture features a low-power,
programmable logic engine and streamlined transceivers and I/Os. Common interfaces, such as the Physical Interface for PCI Express? (PCIe?), Ethernet, and
DDR3 memory are easily implemented in your design with the Quartus?II software, the SOPC Builder design software, and a broad library of hard and soft intellectual property (IP) solutions from Altera. The ArriaIIdevice family makes designing for applications requiring transceivers operating at up to 6.375Gbps fast and easy.This chapter contains the following sections:

Notes to Table1–2:
(1)The user I/O counts include clock pins.
(2)The arrows indicate packages vertical migration capability. Vertical migration allows you to migrate to devices whose dedicated pins, configuration pins,
and power pins are the same for a given package across device densities.(3)RD = True LVDS input buffers with on-chip differential termination (RDOCT) support.(4)RX = True LVDS input buffers without RDOCT support.(5)TX = True LVDS output buffers.
(6)eTX = Emulated-LVDS output buffers, either LVDS_E_3R or LVDS_E_1R.
(7)The LVDS channel count does not include dedicated clock input pins and PLL clock output pins.
(8)These numbers represent the accumulated LVDS channels supported in ArriaIIGX row and column I/O banks.

Arria II Device Architecture
Arria II devices include a customer-defined feature set optimized for cost-sensitive applications and offer a wide range of density, memory, embedded multiplier, I/O, and packaging options. Arria II devices support external memory interfaces and I/O protocols required by wireless, wireline, broadcast, computer, storage, and military markets. They inherit the 8-input ALM, M9K and M144K embedded RAM block, and high-performance DSP blocks from the Stratix? IV device family with a cost-optimized I/O cell and a transceiver optimized for 6.375Gbps speeds.
Figure1–1 and Figure1–2 show an overview of the Arria II GX and ArriaIIGZ device architecture, respectively.
